Heat is transferred from one object to another object. What is an example of heat transferred by radiation? (MS-ESS2-4)

• coffee warming a cup

• hot air warming a room

• a hot plate warming a beaker

• the sun warming Earth

Energy from the Sun causes Earth's atmosphere to heat up. Eventually, the air begins to move due to the differences in heat. What type of energy flow is occurring when the air begins to move? (MS-ESS2-4)

• radiation

• reflection

• convection

• conduction

Why should plants be included in an investigation about the water cycle? (MS-ESS2-4)

• plants speed up the water cycle by removing carbon from the air.

• plants start the water cycle when they make water in photosynthesis.

• plants are part of the water cycle through the process of transpiration.

• plants stop the water cycle because they absorb it and stop the flow to streams.
